Even screenshots are not enough, the backup/restore apps can be used to restore fake messages. Only from the network provider can you be truly guaranteed that the messages are geniuine.

Screenshots of sms chat cannot be admissible as evidence,  at least not in a court of competent jurisdiction because its impossible to prove authenticity. Your best bet is to take an exact image of the whole phone, and simulate using any emulator. The image should be in read only format.

But if it's not a court, well you csn argue your way. But if I was the antagonist, I would just say yoy used photoshop

William's concern is the credibility of the evidence.

Even with sms backup/restore you can edit the XML manually.

Hi Stephen.

I am more concerned for your reliance on the screeenshots as evidence, with the many advanced image editing applications out there how reliable is your screenshot?

Hi, 

I own a Huawei 210 and I would like to get clear screenshots of the SMS chats to use as evidence somewhere.

The phone doesn't come with in-built capability to take screenshots. Taking photos of the chats isn't proving useful either.

I have tried several Play Store screenshot apps but they aren't working as promised in their descriptions.

Is there a known to work screenshot app on the Play Store? If not, what other method can I use to get screenshots off the Huawei 210?

Thank you in anticipation.
